Anna Griffin Empress Elite Die Cutting Machine with Large Plates - 10% Faster Electric Die Cutting and Embossing Machine for Card Making, Embossing Machine for Crafting, Complete Set with Large Plates

the massive plates are a bonus, the magnetic plate is too, it is heavy like a sewing machine but so is a manual die cutter this size anyway, its lovely not having to turn a handle and wonder if its going to snap off one day, I am pretty sure that you will be able to get spare cutting plates for it in England not just one place, I would recommend it definitely for cardmaking it is effortless. the turntable is great too the only thing I would say that is negative in a way is the colour i mean all the beautiful colours in the spectrum and this is foul, it looks like its been in a room full of smokers for twenty years without a window open , even black would of been better, i am going to get decals or something interesting and make mine more goth

beware if in the uk, as its not for our electrical system, you will have to buy a adaptor, also found it cheaper by £60.00

Awesome machine! It’s big, but works great! Expensive, but worth every penny. I packed away my Sissix machine.

Absolutely love this machine. Cuts dies and does embossing beautifully. I love the fact that it spins on a Lazy Susan so it makes working with the machine so much easier. It’s very quiet just love it Great buy!

I received my new Anna Griffin Empress Elite exactly when they said it would arrive. I was worried about ordering this way given the value of the product but I have to say that it was a perfect shipment and the product was so well packaged. I love everything about it…the plates that come with it are the largest ones which allows for multiple die cutting at one time. Very happy with this item. Now I am looking for different sized plates so I will continue to check Amazon for the 5x7 plates called small. So far, they don’t seem to be available here. I am hoping this company will stock them as well.

I love my Empress. It is electronic and cuts well every time, even with dies that are less expensive. I have five die cutting machines, and this is by far the best. It is easy to use, you just feed the plates (that come with the machine) into the machine and it takes it from there. No more hand cranking. This is particularly nice for projects where you have a lot of cutting to do. It isn’t as small as most all of the hand cranking ones. It is on its own turntable which makes it quite functional. It is a rather pricey purchase, but well worth the money.

Excellent purchase! Precision cuts in the first pass, simple to use, simple stack every time with no hand cranking and cracking plates.Pricey but delivers!
